Non SSE Support Dropped

We've dropped support for x86 processors without SSE. SSE2 is supported on all processors sold in the past 5 years (including Atom). NumPy and SciPy packages are the only ones affected.

log2del.exe is NOT a virus

Hi All,

TrenMicro has decided to list log2del.exe as a Trojan. We've filed a request to re-evaluate - which is so far being ignored.

We've found a workaround and will upload an updated Python(x, y) installer shortly.
